People come for the famous hot springs, but stay for the collegial village atmosphere during Radium’s lovely summers. To maximize the long, bright summer days, every summer Friday celebrates Market and Music on Main, a reason to gather in the town centre from 4 to 9 p.m. Browse a community market with handmade, homemade and homegrown goods and enjoy local artists performing live entertainment in the evening hours (from 7 p.m. onward). Or just perch on a pation at one of the town centre’s nearby restaurants to soak in small-town summer.
